GRAX
Founded in 2018, GRAX is the new way that businesses preserve, recover and act on their data. Replacing traditional backup and archive tools that miss 99% of all historical changes and store sensitive data in third-party clouds, GRAX captures an irrefutable and recoverable record of every single change that happens to data over time. It allows businesses to keep their backup and archive data in their own storage environment and makes this historical data available for analytics alongside live data. This approach creates a modern, unified data infrastructure that helps organizations meet regulatory requirements and react more rapidly to new patterns that emerge in their business.
